lyrics

I’ve come to hate birthdays
And appreciate loss
Tell me how your days been
I seem to have missed it I slept too long

Do you have any good reads?
Could you send them my way?
I’ve been running out of original ways
To spend my day

But just because I closed my eyes once
Doesn’t mean I’m blind

Discomforting condolences bring my mind up to speed
But I’ve been trying not to think fast thoughts
It’s been easy with dirty clocks
My hands can’t help but move slow

I’m tired of holding burning ropes
But I’m too tired to let them go

Just because I closed my eyes once
Doesn’t mean I’m blind

Do you still wear my t-shirt underneath his old sweater?
Is there something else behind your heart?
Minding your tongue when you know that you’re wrong
At least you have the decency to stay far

I know what I won’t ask of my new friend
And I will only speak in half-truths
Time hides more than it heals
Mend the glass on your watch, if you want time to heal
Time is hiding everything

Don’t worry, don’t wait
I’ll run into you again
But just because I closed my eyes once
Doesn’t mean I’m blind
